What I'm looking for

I want to lead engineering teams building scalable, AI-native systems end-to-end—partnering with product and leadership on technical roadmaps, architecture, and delivery. I’m especially interested in bridging data science and engineering for production ML impact.

I’m an Engineering Leader with 11 years of experience driving complex, large-scale software solutions from concept to production. I architect, build, and scale high-performance systems by combining deep technical expertise with strategic leadership, and I’ve led multiple engineering teams delivering end-to-end solutions across distributed systems, cloud platforms, and AI/ML-powered workflows.

In my recent roles, I’ve led product-critical engineering work—from AI-assisted customer support workflows at Hiver to video monetization and generative product placement at Smartifai. I’m especially energized by bridging data science and engineering to deliver scalable machine learning systems in production, partnering closely with product leaders, architects, CTOs, and founders to align technical execution with business strategy and long-term vision.
